Mike Watters Posted October 4, 2021 Share Posted October 4, 2021 Does anyone know what grade of aluminium is a suitable replacement for Dural aluminium. I want to make a undercarriage for a Pilot kits Aeronca champion 20 I'm building from a plan only. A search on the net for Dural aluminium doesn't bring up anything. I know you can buy pre-formed aluminium undercarriages, but I want to make the correct size undercarriage than buy something, make it fit and live with.

Denis Watkins Posted October 5, 2021 Share Posted October 5, 2021 DB Sport and Scale Make Duralumin undercarriages to order Mike, at a price, if you get stuck. Dural sheet on eBay 50 x50 x 2 cm sqr is over £40 Making the DB charge acceptable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
